Description

The XM-18 Skinny 3.5 inch is just what it sounds like: a thinner version of the normal XM-18 3.5 inch. The Skinny blade is 0.140 inch thick, 0.025 inch thinner than a standard XM-18 3.5 inch blade (0.165 inch). Hinderer makes it all work by using a combination of standard XM-18 3.5 inch and 3 inch hardware, and some parts just for the Skinny. The whole package gives you the same hard use knife in a bit slimmer overall package.

The Blade: The sheepsfoot blade profile is a great utility profile, giving a longer and less curved cutting edge than the standard spearpoint. Very similar to the Wharncliffe with just a bit of curve. This one is finished with a tumbled (stonewashed) finish.

The Frame: Titanium lock side and scale liner are titanium with stonewashed finish. The G10 scale has Hinderer's XM texture for secure grip.

Tri-Way Pivot System:Hinderer's new Tri-Way pivot system lets you configure your XM-18 further than ever before! The system lets the end-user configure their knife's pivot system to their own personal preference, with choice of bearing, teflon washers or bronze phosphor washers. Simply disassemble the knife*, and instal whichever option suits your needs!

Note: Disassembly of pivot is required to change pivot system. Hinderer Armorer Tool is recommended for the job. Remember, use the right tools, or feel like a fool! Last three pictures are for reference on the Tri-Way system and may not picture actual knife.

About the XM-18:The XM-18 is the combination of over 25 years of old world knife making craftsmanship combined with modern 3D design and CNC technology. The result is a folder that performs like a fixed blade that has become one of the benchmarks in the hard use folder category.

Framelock side features the patented Hinderer Lockbar Stabilizer (LBS) which prevents over torquing of the lockbar which can happen under stress (especially when using gloves).

The XM-18 series of folders are completely modular. Just about every part (including scale, screws, standoffs, pivot, clip, etc.) can be changed by the user to suit their tastes.

Pocket clip can be set for tip-up or tip-down carry.

Can be deployed using flipper tab or blade stud
